Help needed setting a school PTA quiz
6 Answers
I'm doing a quiz for the school again on Friday and would like to keep to the same format as my previous effort in January. I did 40 questions in 2 lots of 20 with the running order (category wise)for each 20 being roughly identical.
Last time I threw in the pairs of cookery and lyric questions below. This time I'm really struggling to come up with something similar � any suggestions would be gratefully received.
5 Mexican cookery � what is the thin round unleavened bread made from cornmeal or wheat flour called?
25 Indian cookery � what is a flat pancake like bread, usually of whole-wheat flour, baked on a griddle called?
16 In the song 'Sylvia's Mother', how many cents does the telephone operator ask for the next 3 minutes?
36 In the song 'Big Yellow Taxi, how much did they charge the people to see all the trees in the tree museum? (1 point for each answer � Joni Mitchell's original from 1970 and Amy Grant's remake in 1995)?
For the lyrics one I did spot something about what time was it going to start 'raining men' in the song of the same name (just about half past 10, by the way) but had a complete mental block when trying to think of another song that has a time mentioned in its lyrics.
Thanks in advance

i must confess to no knowledge of the Leo Sayer track; however the Beatles one is a definite possibility. Someone in work has also given me Last Train to Clarkesville so I may even do away with the 'it's raining men' one.
Keep 'em coming please gang - any offers on the cookery? I've had suggestions on sauces (tartare/hollandaise) also thinking about main spirit in various cocktails.

I remember setting one where I asked to name a country with a drogon on it's flag.
Everybody smugly wrote down Wales.
then I asked to name another country with a drogon on it's flag - the faces were a picture - apart from the mad scriblings on a table where someone had recently come back from Bhutan
